The global virtual reality in retail market size is expected to reach USD 23.69 billion by 2030, expand at a CAGR of 28.0% from 2023 to 2030, according to a new study by Grand View Research, Inc. Virtual reality is transforming the retail market by providing an enhanced customer experience and overcoming physical limitations. By offering immersive and interactive shopping experiences, VR allows customers to visualize products in 3D, try them on virtually, and explore realistic environments. This technology enables retailers to showcase their entire product catalog in a virtual store, eliminating space and inventory constraints. The result is an engaging and convenient shopping experience that increases customer satisfaction and loyalty, driving the adoption of virtual reality in the retail market.
Moreover, the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) with virtual reality headsets provides growth opportunities for virtual reality in retail market as it helps in motion tracking with the help of a camera and blends in seamlessly with the user’s perspective. In addition, with the help of a retail store web-based and mobile-based application, customers can plan their upcoming store visits. This application also offers specific product locations in offline stores, which makes it convenient for customers to continue their purchases. This, in turn, is driving the virtual reality in retail market growth over the forecast period.
Several companies operating in the virtual reality in retail market focus on launching new products and offerings to enhance user experience with the help of partnerships to attract a more extensive customer base and strengthen their foothold in the industry. For instance, in September 2022, Bloomingdale's Inc., an American luxury department store chain, launched their virtual store in celebration of their 150th anniversary along with offering 360-degree views of products. This, in turn, is expected to propel the virtual reality in retail market growth over the forecast period.
